Digital matter has its own rules. We say we see stuff floating, even though we know there's no gravity (no nothing) that can reach non-physical bodies. We insist on seeing weight and touch where they can't exist. It's literally our watching that makes things be. Nothing new here, but this power of watching is at the center of this work.
Bodies in pairs, digital couples dancing? fighting? or feeling each other? All in the looks... And that's your cue
POSSIBILITIES
You're encouraged to shamelessly explore the sculpture using mouse/fingers Rotate with left click / one finger Zoom via right click / pinch/spread Pan using middle click / two fingers Double click / tap to reset
And to shuffle its attributes via keyboard
- Top row, keys 1 through 0 : change subject_A
- 2nd row, keys q through p : change subject_B
- A - F : Colors_for_A
- Z - B : Colors_for_B
- B,N : background color
- "," and "." to reset each subject
- Spacebar : hard reset
- "-" to get a screenshot (screen sized)
IMPORTANT: If it stutters, try it outside of tiny, puny preview screens. Larger (to a point) runs actually better
